current and previous bars highs and lows prints on the chart

[NinjaTrader_CalH]

The attached Zip should be what you are looking for.

There is a line the code -

DrawText("cl", currentLow.ToString(), 0, Low[0] - 2 * TickSize, Color.Black);

I would recommend changing the 2 * TickSize to either a larger number or lower number as this is the y-value where the Text is drawn.

Both are being placed correctly on the chart however, they are simple close to each other and you can separate them out by changing the code or expanding the bar spacing on the chart(Ctrl + Up/down Arrow)

chart clean up

how do I erase the old order text from the charts after using chart trader & closing a position?

[GussJ]

I did change the 2 to a higher number, still overlapping.
even when using CTRL+ up/down, still they overlap.
As for saving the other indicator using different name, when I click teh right mouse button, I am not getting any options to save as?

please advise

The volumebarcolor has nothing to do with the timing of each bar in terms of minutes or seconds.
probably you miss understood what I Am looking for.
Thanks anyway

The first HiLow indicator(developed by Matthew) seems more practical since the prices don't over lap each other in real time action.

But I need to change the font size and text color if possible. I tried to edit the script but cannot find a way to change the size or the color, I would appreciate it if you can add that option.
As for the timer, if you check the last line on the following screen shot:
http://charts.dacharts.net/2014-02-1...02-13_1205.png

where it is showing the time period it took for the previous and the current bar to print from start to finish/current) It would be nice to be able to add this option on this high low version if it doesn't affect the performance of NT in fast markets.

Your feedback is highly appreciated

To do what you want, you will have to align your strings. Use the correct syntax for DrawText(), to draw as you want. In this particular case, you must replace your statement that are drawing your text with this:

            using (Font outputFont = new Font("DefaultMonoSpace", 6f))
            {
                DrawText("ch", true, currentHigh.ToString(), -1, High[0], 10, Color.Black, outputFont, StringAlignment.Near, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);
                DrawText("cl", true, currentLow.ToString(), -1, Low[0], -10, Color.Black, outputFont, StringAlignment.Near, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);
                DrawText("ph", true, previousHigh.ToString(), 0, High[1], 10, Color.Black, outputFont, StringAlignment.Far, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);
                DrawText("pl", true, previousLow.ToString(), 0, Low[1], -10, Color.Black, outputFont, StringAlignment.Far, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);
            }

            }

Thanks a lot for your help, your code just fixed it. much appreciate.
Is there a way to change the size of the font and make it bold if needed?
Also does this code use resources or affects the performance of NT in fast markets?
One last thing, Is there a way to add a timer for each bar at the top or bottom of the panel(possibly as an independent indicator ) to represent the time it took from start to finish of each bar? similar to the last line on the following chart

Thanks again your help is highly appreciated

Change the definition of outputFont to be what you want. Use a search engine to look up how to define fonts.

The time elapsed is Time[0] - Time[1]. Just add another statement to draw its value wherever you want it.

Thanks again for your reply.
I am totally new to NT programing, so I have no idea where to start, but thanks a lot for your input and feedback, much appreciated.
I will look it up as you suggested.

Thanks again

Any feedback from NT support on the above is highly appreciated

Larger Font

Dear Matthew and Cal,
I would appreciate it if you can help me increase the font size of the following attached indicator.
Thanks to Koganam for his input and coding.
I am a trader, and don't know much about NT coding and language,I would appreciate your help with that.
Thanks in advance

Gussj,

This line -
using (Font outputFont = new Font("DefaultMonoSpace", 6f))

You just need to increase the 6f to say 12f.

Thanks Cal,
Much appreciated, didn't know it was that simple.
and if I need to make it bold is it as simple as changing the size?

Thanks

[NinjaTrader_CalH]

new Font("DefaultMonoSpace", 6f, FontStyle.Bold)

That should work

[GussJ]

new Font("DefaultMonoSpace", 6f, FontStyle.Bold)

That should work

Thanks Cal for all you help
It worked,
Much appreciated
